Default Looking better at higher weight?

I am wondering if I am delusional or if this diet works differently than others?

I weigh more than I ever have, but *woohoo* have lost 20 lbs in the last 8 weeks on this diet. Of course, I STILL weigh more than I ever have, but I feel like I look better than I did when I weighed even less. Its like the weight is melting away from the right places this time (like my tummy) instead of the wrong (like my breasts).

Anyone else feel this way, or am I just loopy??

Congrats on losing 20 pounds! Yep, there's a difference especially if you're exercising. Your body's morphing, toning, losing fat, and you're probably seeing differences in your skin....more healty looking. Everyone looses differently in different places. Like you, I lose my belly before my boobs, but that's just me because I'm all woman .

Keep up the good work!

Way to go on the 20 lbs lost, that's awesome! I'm opposite from you though, I always lose from my butt and boobs first (I wish I new about this diet before I had the breast reduction!) and my belly is pretty reluctant to give up the goods. It makes me crazy because it's my belly that I hate the most. Grrrr...

I do have to say that my weight expectations don't always match my size though. I've been thinking I'll have to re-evaluate my goal weight. With all the muscle I've been building 125 might not be very realistic.

For me, a lot has come off my boobs. But it is in general coming off all over, and I am wearing the same size I did in High School right now, and I'm 25 pounds heavier. So the muscle DEFINATELY plays a huge part in that.

I am losing it from my stomach more than anywhere else. I wish my face would begin to slim down though.

Default Re: Looking better at higher weight?

Butt, thighs, tummy are where I lose first.. lastly my face and arms I'm a 36dd and I may get to a 34 dd.. but I've been that size since I first had boobs. I swear they grew over night. One day in 6th grade I looked down and couldn't see my shoes.. It's been that way ever since. Except pregnant...then OMG.. 58eee.. It was awful..
